### Task 4: Publish report and add Power BI Linked Service
### Task 4: Refresh report

When you connected to the Synapse serverless SQL endpoint for this report, you selected the Import option. The data on the report is a snapshot of the data when you added the tables. In this task, you re-run the transaction generator app and refresh the report.

1. On Page 2 of the report, observe the total `SuspiciousCount` and `NonSuspiciousCount` values on the bottom of the Matrix visualization.

2. Switch back to Visual Studio and run the transaction generator for a few minutes. Make sure that it sends at least a few thousand transactions before closing it.

3. Return to the report in Power BI Desktop, then select the **Refresh** button above the report.

The refresh dialog will appear, showing the refresh status of each table and view. Wait for the operation to complete.

4. Once again, observe the total `SuspiciousCount` and `NonSuspiciousCount` values on the bottom of the Matrix visualization. The values should be higher than they were before you re-ran the transaction generator and refreshed the report.

### Task 5: Publish report and add Power BI Linked Service

So far, the report you created is only available to you. To share the report with others, you need to publish it to the Power BI online service. Once you've published your report, you can make it available within Synapse Studio, along with other reports published to your workspace.
